The Russian Military.

ST. PETERSBURG, December Is The
Official Military Gazette says the most
effective measure against danger would
be the extension of the Russian railway
system TO the proportion of those of our
neighbours; . but as this requires time
and money, the only course is to in
crease the troops on the frontier. The
transfer Of a few cavalry regiments on
the Vistula, might be made pretext 10
excite the press to charge Russia with
warlike intention. German ind Aus
trian military authorities understand
the defensive character of this meas
ure. They can calculate how many
corps Russia will have to send to the
frontier while peace is undisturbed, go
that after concentrating at any given
point, the forces and means at her dis
posal might suffice to place Russia on
an equality with her opponents. Russia
has the undeubted right to provide for
her defense, and take every measure 10
uphold her honor and maintain the in
of her territory.
